"How the hell did Romanoff get a gun?" Fury demanded
"I'm assuming they took down Lisbon and his team; they're not responding"
Fury sighed, "They're children! And there's only two of them! How the hell did they take down a team of five highly trained agents?"
"We're talking about Romanoff and Barton Sir, even as children they were skilled"
"So it seems, we need a way to get through to them!"
"Sir" Steve interrupted "I think Clint will be easier to convince, it's Natasha who's going to be the problem"
"Agreed. Coulson, Hill; do you think bringing in Pepper would be beneficial? She had a connection with them last time"
"Oh no!" Tony stopped them before either of them could answer "Romanoff just threatened me with a gun, Pepper isn't being brought into this until you can guarantee her safety"
"Sir, I agree with Tony. Last time they had a kind of familiarity; an affinity to the people they knew and trusted as adults. Right now; they're just scared kids who don't know where they are or who to trust, and for kids like Clint and Natasha; that makes them dangerous"
Fury rubbed his temples as his head felt ready to explode. He couldn't believe this had happened... Again
"So what do we do?" Agent Dennings asked, playing with her pen as she thought over their options
"Trick them? Try and trap them in the detainment cells?" Tyler offered
"They're not that stupid" Tony muttered
"Besides, tricking them isn't generally the best way to gain their trust" Steve warned
"What if we managed to separate them? Bring Barton in, would Romanoff follow?"
"Who knows? In their adult state; without a doubt, she'd follow him to the end of the world, but right now... As far as they're aware they only met an hour ago" Phil sighed
"Is it worth a shot?" Fury aimed at Coulson
"Let's call it plan B. I think we should give Tony and Steve another shot"
Glancing an eye over at the one third of the Avengers he had left, Fury nodded, despite the concerned looks they were giving Coulson at his suggestion
The agents filed from Fury's office, going to try and locate Lisbon and his missing team and leaving the hunt for two mini assassins to Iron Man and Captain America.
"Why'd you say that? Why us?" Tony asked, when it was just the three of them left in the room
"Not one of those agents knows Barton or Romanoff like you two; you really think that separating them right now is what they need? They're scared and alone, but they're together. And right now, that's what they need"
The two men nodded, before standing to start their search again.
